Well, That F*cked Me Up! Surviving Life Changing Events.

BITE-SIZE PERSONAL STORIES OF SURVIVING LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCES: Hosted by Luke Colson and Kyle Wise, we feature weekly guests and explore extreme personal life changing experiences and the journey emotional and physical recovery. Each guest discusses their story of how their lives were turned upside down, by unexpected events. Stories like surviving a car crash, surviving abuse, being paralyzed in an accident, witnessing a crime.. and many more! Luke and Kyle will take an honest, raw, yet positive and hopeful approach, to really find out how these sudden events have effected our guests, and hear about the tools they use to overcome the subsequent struggle and adversity. We will focus on the journey to success and recovery, and hear stories of how our guests overcame trauma, and mental health challenges like ptsd, anxiety depression and phobias that have often lead to addiction, alcoholism, and disorders. While we will focus on the events themselves, and the lasting effects of these moments, our goal in this podcast is to concentrate on the positive journeys of resilience, recovery and hope that comes from these extraordinary stories. Join us for the ride of your life, and other peoples too! Why listen? We hope that our listeners will feel comfort, empowerment, strength and hope through this community of people and the stories we share. Everyone’s experiences are unique, but the circumstances around recovery and healing can be a shared and comforting journey.

This episode is like nothing we have ever had on our Podcast before. Dr Petro, his wife Dr Olga, and their three young children fled Ukraine as Russia invaded. We discuss their journey across boarders, being homeless, and finally finding hope and accommodation in Los Angeles! The lifestyle change from Cherkasky, Ukraine, to Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, is not lost on Petro and Olga, they were living a fairytale that was so very different from the life they knew. However, their Doctor credentials were not suitable for work in the USA, and their friends and family back in Ukraine needed them. And so, after one year in LA, with their kids at school in Santa Monica, they all went back to Ukraine to continue their lives. An utterly amazing story that must be heard. And check out the After Thoughts episode to find out how you can help!
